Fava

The night before you make this recipe, soak the fava beans in water and leave overnight. The following day, peel the beans and discard the peels.

To prepare, place all the main ingredients in a medium-sized pot and cook for about 1.5 hours on medium-low heat. Afterwards, mix in a blender until smooth and put in an inch deep serving bowl. When cold, make cuts in diamond shapes as shown in the picture. Pour some olive oil and lemon juice on top before serving.

If you like, you can add some dill or 2-3 mint leaves before blending fava:)
